The Cincinnati Negro Hornets Again Top Tankers In the Nation Posting a win-loss record of 13-5 for the past season, Fullerton's JC Hornet swim team rolled up 783 points in dual meets compared to their opponents 506 to again for the umpteenth time rank as the top two year swim team in the nation. All five Hornet losses were to four year universities — Texas, California, USC, twice and Stanford, the Pacific Coast Conference champs. Doing an about face one finds that the JC speedsters were victors over high school teams twice during the season—El Segundo, CIF champs and Black Foxe Military Academy. During the past three seasons the Hornets have averaged 775 points to their opponents 410. In 1949 the Yellow Jackets scored 777 to 407. Last year it was 765-319. This is better than any four year college or university has done in this period. Leading the individual scoring for the second straight year is Roy Brown. Last year Brown edged team mate, Bob Thompson, by 1½ points for scoring honors, but this year he was much farther out in front. Brown's 1950 total was 158½ while this season he earned a grand total of 220¼ points. Second place went to Joe (Continued on Page 7) Solons Back Into Coast League Lead By The Associated Press Sacramento is perched atop the Pacific Coast league baseball heap again by a precarious half-game margin. The Solons stepped on the bottom-rung San Francisco Seals twice, 9-7 and 7-3, in Memorial Day contents to regain the lead from Seattle. The Rainiers helped by dropping one end of their doubleheader with Oakland. The double win made it seven straight times that Sacramento has whipped the sad Seals this year in the Solon ball park. In the opener Eddie Lake grabbed the lead for the Seals with a three-run homer in the sixth frame but the Solons came back in their half with four tallies. Manny Perez, the sixth in the Seal's procession of seven pitchers, was charged with the loss. In the nightcap Walter Clough won his sixth game against one defeat by outpitching Lou Burdette. Clough had a shutout working until the eighth when her erred in covering first and allowed two unearned tallies. Bob Thurman got the third run off him in the ninth with a 400-foot triple.

Citation Still Question Mark Records Show Why Santa Ana Captured Sunset Baseball Crown Looking at the records for the past baseball season one quickly finds the answer as to why Santa Ana captured the Sunset League baseball crown for the second straight year. They had two pitchers who were undefeated with 5-0 marks, Bert Haysom and Phil Martinez; the loop batting king Rex Babock (.464) and a team batting average of .241—good enough for third spot in the circuit. Anaheim was right behind in the team batting with a mark of .195. 246 Colonists went to bat and banged out 48 hits for 29 runs which put the Blue and Gold team in fourth spot ahead of Huntington Beach and Orange.

Wallard Makes Speedway Grind A Race Again INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Lee Walard, winner of the 35th annual 200-mile auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, has made a driving contest again. The post war theory of competing in the "500" generally was to drive steadily at a speed a little better than previous winning times, more or less ignoring the competition. Wallard changed that in his first speedway victory. He pushed hisurdest all the way yesterday to win at 126.244 miles an hour—almost five miles faster than Bill Holland's 1949 record. The Allampont, N. V., veteran recited the big race like a dirt back sprint. It was the fourth straight run of the race without a facility. Mauri Rose of South Bend, Ind., being to become the first man to win four times, wrecked at the northwest turn after 312½ miles, car lost a wheel and overturned. But he escaped with only catches. Otherwise, there were only minor skids and spins. Wallard dashed into the lead on the first lap. Jack McGrath of Hendale, got into the spirit, and Wallard bitterly contested the lead on every turn for the last 50-miles. Wallard took the $500 prize for the fastest lap in the race by averaging 138.809 miles an hour on the 23rd lap—faster than many of qualifying times.

Nippy Jones shared batting honors with Musial in Surprising White Sox Jump Lead To Two Games Over the Yankees By The Associated Press The super-charged Chicago White Sox, a 30-1 shot in April, figure no worse than even money to win the American League pennant—based on Memorial Day barometers. The Sox streaked to their 13th and 14th successive victories yesterday, sweeping a holiday doubleheader from the St. Louis Browns, 5-2 and 8-1. The Sox cleanup, coupled with Boston's two triumphs over New York, widened Chicago's first place margin over the Yankees to two full games.

The Phillies came back to win the second game, 9-5, after Don Newcombe had outpitched Robin Roberts, 5-3, in the opener. Memorial Day leaders, during the past 50 years, have held on to win the flag 27 times in the American League. Only the 1947 Tigers and 1948 Athletics have failed to stay on top in the last seasons. National League holiday leaders did not fare as well. Only 23 have gone on to win since 1901. Billy Pierce and Randy Gumpert pitched the victories for Chicago. Orestes Minoso and Al Zarilla drilled home two runs apiece in the opener. Minoso and Eddie Robinson made it a banner snapped a 3-3 tie in the first game and gave rookie Joe Presko his fourth win.

Rookie Bob Chakales pitched his first complete game in the opener and also drove in two runs with a single. Birdie Tebbetts' first home run of the season, with one man on base in the seventh inning, put Cleveland ahead in the second game. It was the sixth straight win for Cleveland over Detroit and the Tigers' 10th defeat in their last 11 starts. Conrado Marrero's six-hit pitching enabled Washington to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 6-2, in the second game of a double-header ending the Senators' nine-game losing streak. Dave Philley featured a 15-hit attack to give the A's a 9-5 victory in the opener.
